St. Louis Cardinals Planning Missouri Sports Betting Debut in Collaboration with bet365
Shakein' Things Up in St. Louis: Cardinals ink deal with bet365, heralding a new era for sports betting in Missouri!
Hold onto your gloves, folks! The St. Louis Cardinals have struck gold with a jaw-dropping partnership that's sweepin' the streets of the Gateway City. This pioneering alliance appoints bet365 as the Cardinals' first-ever official mobile sports betting partner, with the highly-anticipated legal sportsbooks in Missouri just around the corner!
Folks, you might wanna grab a front-row seat for this one. The partnership, a multi-year agreement to be precise, had been waitin' in the wings prior to the anticipated launch of legal sportsbooks in the Show-Me State.
The passage of a measure in November legalized the activity, initially eying a summer 2025 launch. However, delays in deciding on sector regulations have seen the launch pushed back to late fall 2025. Fret not, intrepid gamblers, as the State is aimin' to meet the December 1, 2025, deadline mandated by Amendment 2.
Here's the lowdown on bet365's reign at the Cardinals' ballpark. Quite simply, the operator's logo will be splashed across the stadium, beamed during broadcasts, and flaunted in other team-related advertising spaces.
Up the ante, bet365 will also snag naming rights for the bet365 Bridge, a popular landmark on Busch Stadium's right-center field second level. They'll have exclusive seating and refreshments, too, giving 'em priority access to the game and a mouth-watering taste of victory (or commiseration, as the case may be).
The Cardinals have lobbied for legal sports betting for several seasons, and team president Bill DeWitt III couldn't be more thrilled with the new arrival. This partnership marks a significant step forward for both organizations, and the sports scene in Missouri as a whole.
To give you the full scoop, their dream of sports betting legalization has come to fruition, and the upcoming launch of Missouri's authorized betting apps is projected for late fall 2025. Key details include the proposed rules being sent to the governor’s office on May 13, followed by license applications accepted from May 14 to August 30. Operators like DraftKings are hopin' to go live in fall 2025, with their sights set on launching before the 2025 NFL season, though this remains to be seen.
Remember, the voter-approved legislation stipulates that online sportsbooks must be operational statewide by December 1, 2025. While initial hopes for a spring 2025 launch have shifted, Missouri regulators are urging to expedite the process. So, sit back, relax, and stay tuned for more up-to-the-minute deets on St. Louis' foray into Missouri's burgeoning mobile sports betting scene!
